Adobo Grill Linked To Salmonella Outbreak

By Margaret Lyons in News on Jun 18, 2008 10:10PM

2008_6_18.adobo.gifThe Chicago Department of Public Health announced today that nine salmonella cases around Chicago have been linked to tainted tomatoes served at Adobo Grill, both at its Wicker Park and Old Town venues.

The FDA announced earlier this week that the agency was investigating a nine-case cluster, but wouldn't name where, but local officials say they assume the FDA means these Chicago cases. So far, 383 people in 30 states plus DC have been identified as being infected with the same strain of salmonella; 34 are in Illinois.[Trib, CDC's map of the outbreak]
